Jason Oliveri Presents on Emotionally Intelligent AI Governance in Elder Care
Attorney Jason Oliveri of Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP presented on the governance of emotionally intelligent AI systems used in elder care settings. The presentation focused on how AI designed to engage emotionally with older adults intersects with legal and ethical oversight frameworks.
Why this matters: Older adults in care settings are not a typical tech user base. Many have cognitive vulnerabilities, limited digital literacy, and little ability to push back when something feels wrong. AI that is designed to form emotional bonds with them is a different category of risk than a chatbot that books appointments. If the system is nudging behavior, gathering health data, or substituting for human contact, the governance question is not abstract. Someone needs to be accountable for what these tools say, what they collect, and what happens when they get it wrong.
